Introduction

The FIFA World Cup 2014 kicked off last night and over the next few weeks we will see the best footballing nations in the world go toe to toe to see who will be crowned world champions.

You may be wondering how I can take the World Cup and turn it into anything remotely related to Linux.

There are 32 teams in the first round of the World Cup and it got me thinking.....

How many of the 32 nations have a Linux distribution that originated from that country?

The results of this investigation are quite interesting because first and foremost there are a ridiculously large number of Linux distributions and secondly some of the bigger Linux distributions don't originate from the 32 World Cup playing nations currently in Brazil.
